Sunday Salon: Mystery in New Orleans and on the High Seas

I have a copy of a favorite cozy writer's new book, Glitter Bomb in the New Orleans Scrapbooking Mystery series.  It's been a while since I read the series, so this book looks very attractive.
Glitter Bomb (A Scrapbooking Mystery #15)

Glitter Bomb by Laura Childs, October 2, 2018, thanks to Berkley Books
Genre: cozy mystery series
Setting: New Orleans
An exploding Mardi Gras float is used as a murder weapon.

Another arrival is from Seventh Street Books with a much more serious book cover.
The Devil's Wind

 The Devil's Wind by Steve Goble, A Spider John's Mystery, September 11, 2018. 
The mystery is historical, featuring a pirate as sleuth, solving a murder on the high seas..

    It's an odd idea, isn't it? A light mystery. But so many of us are taken with light mysteries. I suppose it is because the world is often so heavy.

    I hope to be reading and reviewing some light books this week. I think I may read some children's books.

      I've been reading psychological thrillers recently, much more realistic novels, so it's nice to read a book that focuses on the story rather than on the characters.

    Those both sound good. I don't think I've ever read a mystery with a pirate as the sleuth. Enjoy!

      A pirate sleuth should be fun. Normally, the pirate is the bad one.

      Good luck with starting at the beginning of the series. This is the 15th book, I think.

    Light mysteries are the best! Enough yucky stuff on the news each day to keep me away from the rest! Glitter Bomb looks good.
